UNIVERSAL FERTILIZER CHAMAE Universal natural liquid fertilizer: § NATURAL: Made from plant tissues § ECOLOGICAL: Certified as input for organic and ecological farming § UNIVERSAL: Suitable for ecological and organic farming and for conventional farming to replace chemical fertilizers. § ALTERNATIVE AND DIFFERENT: Its mechanism of action is not based on the nutrient units but on the activation of the plants’ set of natural mechanisms. 5

PRODUCT FEATURES § It is a liquid fertilizer in which the macro and micro nutrients are added to the organic matter within a colloidal matrix. § The nutrients are at a MAXIMUM DEGREE OF BIOAVAILABILITY. § The NATURAL BIO-ACTIVATORS stimulate the plant metabolisms: increase development and growth, more vigour and improves the resistance to diseases, pests and inclement weather. § It boosts the DEVELOPMENT OF BIOTA § It stimulates ROOTING capacity. 6

CERTIFIED AS ORGANIC INPUT CERTIFIED FOR ECOLOGICAL FARMING: Certificate Nº 40044 issued by the certification organization CERES Gmb. H (ES-ECO 005), for its use as Organic Input in Organic and Ecological Farming, unrestricted incompatibility and use, in accordance with the following standards: § European Legislation: EU Council Reg. (EEC) 834/2007 and 889/2008 (ANNEX 1) § U. S. Legislation: NOP § 205. 203 c) 3) § Japanese Legislation: JAS Not. 1605 Table 1 7

RESULTS § Best tissue structure § Best organoleptic properties § Greater consistency in degree of maturity § More life span after harvesting § Higher resistance to pests and inclement weather. § Reducing greenhouse gases. § Eliminating environmental and health risks for people and pets or wild animals: it can be applied to nitrate vulnerable areas, it allows reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides and a phase-out period is not necessary once 8 applied.

EXTENSIVE FARMING Applying CHAMAE in extensive farming has resulted in: § An increase in productivity § A higher resistance to pests and inclement weather conditions. § An improvement in the soil structure: better harvests in subsequent years 9

PRODUCTOS CORN CROP IN ALCAÑIZ, TERUEL CHAMAE produced the same crop but the specific weight was up to 8% higher (Equal if not more per kilo of corn) and the organoleptic qualities improved. 10

ONLY CHAMAE ONLY N 32 AND CHAMAE The cobs fertilized with CHAMAE are completely full of kernels whilst those fertilized only with chemical fertilizer are incomplete on the end. The structure of those fertilized with CHAMAE is more irregular as the kernel increases in size. 11

INTENSIVE FARMING Working conditions in Intensive Farming are very specific: § Continuous irrigation: over-supply of nutrients § Highly compacted, salinized soils, with crusts and pathogen endemic contaminations. Natural fertilization with CHAMAE results in: § Reducing compaction and the crusts § Decreasing saline content § Eliminating pests and diseases § An increase in productivity 14

FRUIT TREES, OLIVE GROVES AND VINEYARDS The most outstanding and immediate results are reached in fruit trees, olive groves and vineyards, with an increase in yield, due to the fast activation of the biota present in the large roots: § Greater foliar mass § Higher fruit production § Decline in the effects of alternate bearing § Regeneration of damaged trees. 21

HYDROPONICS -GARDENING Hydroponics: CHAMAE is highly recommended to be applied in hydroponics, replacing the complex and impractical nutrient solutions used in this agricultural model. These are the advantages it offers: § Direct application as a complete and balanced nutrient solution § No mixing operations, dilutions in water nor p. H corrections. Gardening: Immediate results are obtained in gardening: § Growing of green parts and side branches § The plant with higher colour intensity. 27

AGRICULTURAL BENEFITS § It encourages plant organic quality. § It helps the organic carbon sequestration in soils. § It improves the C/N ratio. (carbon /nitrogen) § CO 2 Sequestration § It strengthens natural defences § It reduces the plant stress by nutrition. 31

ECONOMIC BENEFITS § It increases the yield with and without other fertilizers. § It reduces production costs. § It shortens harvesting periods. 32

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS § It reduces soil toxicity. § It reduces groundwater pollution: it may be applied in nitrate vulnerable areas, where more and more the use of nitrogen fertilizers is restricted. § The application of pesticides and herbicides is reduced. § 100% natural treatment: no risks are shown for wild animals or pets, therefore a phase-out period is not necessary once applied. § It brings about a multiplying effect of the CO 2 sequestration. It all goes towards a SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL MODEL. 33
